Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - And let his work cease. The parallel has not this, but follows the exact previous sentence with this, "and dwelt in Tirzah." It is the happy suggestion of one commentator (Professor James G. Murphy, 'Handbook: Chronicles') that this sentence may betray that it had been Baasha's intention to reside in Ramah.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) And it came to pass.--See 1Kings 15:21.And let his work cease.--Vay-yashbeth 'ethmelakhto. Kings: "vay-yesheb bethirzah, "and dwelt in Tirzah." The partial similarity of the Heb. is obvious. Kings appears to be correct, and the tautologous reading of the chronicler is to be ascribed to a fault in the writer's MS.
